Wolter van der Spoel Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 ........... for Doodle bug's July 1944 => fullsize screenshot some info on this particular Aircraft: Aircraft flown by FO. Burgwall of RAF 322 (Dutch) sq. Burgwall was credited with 21 V1 flying bomb (doodle bug) kills while 322 squadron was stationed at RAF Malling from June 20, 1944 until July 30, 1944. Most of the kills were achieved by tipping the V1 with a wingtip, succesfully tried by FO. Van Eijk for the first time ever. This procedure soon became common practice amongst all pilots engaged in fighting off the V1, until the Germans installed a sensor that made the V1 explode upon wing-tipping, 322 Sq. was credited with a total of 110.5 V1 kills. Depicted in original WW2-era condition, this aircraft was operated by 322 (Dutch) Squadron 1944. 322 Sqn received the Spitfire XIV early 1944. The Squadron joined N°. 141 Wing of N°. 85 Group and flew armed reconnaissance sweeps over the approaches to the invasion area in Normandy. Soon after D-Day, flying-bomb attacks began and No.322 was engaged in destroying these until August 1944. repaint by Hans Wilms file name : realair_nh649.zip fsX file available at www.avsim.com Alltough not related to FTX, I tought to post this particular Aircraft as I know there are a substantial number of members around that enjoy flying the RealAir Spit enjoy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurdy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I guess the 1/2 a kill is when the newly 'tip sensored' V1 blew up and destroyed the aircraft as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
